The new war on the Global South
So, I don't know if you've heard about the Cote d'Ivoire sludge incident. It's crazy that we don't find out about this stuff till now when it's been happening all summer. Here's an excerpt. Read the real site.
Several tankerloads went to the Abidjan landfill, in a community called Akouedo. Residents there are accustomed to foul odors, but knew something was particularly bad about the new material. They chased and surrounded one of the tanker trucks, forcing the driver to flee on foot, witnesses said. In other places, some trucks were simply abandoned by drivers fearful of being attacked as word of the illegal dumping crept out and public anger rose.
